Tips on how men can maintain sharp-looking and well-groomed eyebrows
Having well-groomed brows is very much common these days, but it’s mostly women who still exert a conscious effort in maintaining it. Men frequently talk about their hair, beard, and mustache, but eyebrows are often overlooked despite its importance and influence in shaping a person’s face. Brows have a significant impact on accentuating facial features, so they deserve just as much attention and care. Not all men are genetically blessed with good eyebrows, but a grooming regimen can surely help.
A step-by-step guide
Always start by cleansing your face. Remove any other products that may be weighing down your brow hairs, such as sunscreen or brow gel. Next is to prepare the tools you need. The products do not necessarily need to be expensive—you can use basic and easy-to-find tools like grooming scissors, small comb, and tweezers.
With these products, make sure that a brush is one of them. Begin by sweeping your brush straight across your brows from the middle to the side, close to your temple, in the direction they naturally grow.
Afterwards, start trimming one hair at a time in a downward angle. To thin down the longer hair growing in the middle of your brow, begin by lightly pressing down while guiding the trimmer across your brow. To ensure that you equally trim all of the hair, lightly go over your brows one or two times. Once done, you can use a tweezer to pluck the excess hairs to make your eyebrows look more neat. Just avoid plucking any hairs that are part of the main shape of your eyebrow.
Best practices for your brows
First is to always start trimming from the bottom of your eyebrows. It will appear fuller and doing so gives a more masculine appearance that can be achieved if there is more hair at the top. Also, avoid over-tweezing and over-plucking. Men’s most common mistake when shaping their eyebrows is they tend to overdo it.
Keep everything simple when trimming your brows. Grooming your eyebrows does not mean that there should be dramatic changes after. Always try to achieve a simple and tidy look when working on the shape of your eyebrows.
Do not be afraid to try eyebrow products to enhance your look. You can use a brow gel to fill in the spots and keep your brows in place without looking wet and sticky. You can also use products like an eyebrow pencil, grooming pomade, and concealer to make your brows look more sleek and tidy.
Another tip is to always moisturize. Keeping yourself hydrated will not just make your skin look good, but will also make your brows look more natural and healthier as well. And lastly, when in doubt, consult a brow specialist. There are a lot of great eyebrow grooming salons you can visit that can help you achieve your desired eyebrow look.
